The Canadian Council for Sustainable Aviation Fuels (C-SAF) recently launched a Roadmap for the country's aviation sector to remain competitive as it transitions to a net-zero future by 2050. C-SAF also published yesterday an open letter signed by the chief executives of almost 20 key players in Canada's aviation and aerospace industry calling on the federal and provincial governments in Canada to urgently assist in the development of the domestic supply of SAF.

C-SAF's Roadmap report charts a pathway and a strategy to produce truly sustainable and affordable SAF with Canadian feedstock and clean energy, using made-in-Canada solutions that aim to promote Canadian technology. C-SAF collaborated with The Transition Accelerator and the Energy Futures Lab to plan, design and develop the Roadmap.
